Epidemiology of Non-Infectious Diseases 2 Demand for Health Services 2.1 Determinants of Demand: Overview 2.2 Demographic and Epidemiologic Transition 2.3 Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases 2.4 Epidemiology of Non-Infectious Diseases 2.4.1 Overview 2.4.2 Example: Diabetes Mellitus Type II 2.4.3 Example: Cervix Uteri Carcinoma 2.5 Risk Factors 2.6 Filter Between Need and Demand
2.4.1 Overview • Problem: • Multi-Cause-Multi-Effect Model • Not yet a general concept • Problems of Distinction: • Infectious diseases may become chronic • Infections have a certain role in chronic-degenerative diseases • i.e. Cervix Carcinoma, Gastric Cancer, Liver Cancer • i.e. Caries
Mortality Risk: absolute Mortality (per 100.000 pop., age adjusted)
Mortality in Germany • Cardio-Vascular Diseases • 450.000 fatalities annually (49 % of total fatalities in Germany) • Cancer • 210.000 fatalities annually (23 % of total fatalities in Germany) • Stroke (ICD 430-438) • 110.000 fatalities annually (estimated; 12 % of total fatalities in Germany) • Consequence: • The absolute risk of dying from a chronic disease in developing countries is higher than it is in Germany • The relative risk (in comparison to other diseases) is lower in developing countries
Cardio-Vascular Diseases • Type: • Coronary Insufficiency: • Caused by an absolute or partial lack of blood flow to the coronary arteries; acute coronary insufficiency leads to angina pectoris (attack like pain in the area of the heart with a characteristic feeling of constriction) • Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack): • Partial death of cells in the heart muscle caused by an acute lack of oxygen (ischemia) • 85.000 fatalities annually
Development of Casualties • 1845: 0,05 % of death cases due to cardio-vascular diseases • High increase in phase three and four of the epidemiologic transition • Decline since 1990 • Less in women than in men • USA: less in Caucasian than in Afro-American population • Higher survival rate since 1990 • Lower rates of second and third time infarcts since 1990
Congenital Heart Disease • Congenital: at birth • Genetic disorder • Strongly: Arabic countries • Reason? • http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2765422/
Genetic Disposition of Heart Diseases: Relationship in blood http://nature-sucks.blogspot.de/2012_01_01_archive.html
Cancer • Collective name for more than 100 diseases that can occur in any part of the body. • Rapid development of abnormal cells that grow beyond their normal limits • Cancer cells destroy adjacent tissue and spread to other organs (metastases) • Metastases are the main cause of death in cancer
Epidemiology • Mortality: • Main cause of death worldwide • 7.6 Million death cases annually worldwide (13 % of total fatalities), • Forms of cancer with high mortality: • Lung cancer (1.3 Mio.) • Gastric cancer (1 Mio.) • Liver cancer (662,000 ) • Colon cancer (655,000) • Breast cancer (502,000) • Spread: 70 % of worldwide death cases due to cancer in developing countries • Estimations: 11.3 Mio. death cases due to cancer worldwide in 2030
Examples • Note: extremely varying spatial distribution • Genetic disposition • i.e. low risk of melanoma in Asians and Africans • Habitat / Exposition • i.e. skin cancer in Australia • Behavior • i.e. liver cancer alcohol, mold • i.e. lung cancer smoking
Cause • Basic Problems: • Manifestation long time after exposition • Stochastic relation of exposition and occurrence of disease • Temporal or spatial association of exposition and disease is challenging • Trigger: • Ultraviolet or radioactive radiation • Chemicals, i.e. asbestos, smoke • Problem of “Indoor Smoke” in developing countries • Biological triggers, i.e. • Viruses • Hepatitis B Virus and Liver cancer • Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and cervical carcinoma • Bacteria • Helicobacter pylori and gastric cancer • Parasites • Schistosomiasis and bladder cancer • Fungi • i.e. Aspergillus fungi and liver cancer
2.4.2 Example: Diabetes Mellitus Type II • 2010 (WHO-Statics): • 382 million diabetics worldwide • 90 % T2DM • 80 % of diabetics live in middle or low income countries • 2035: (estimates of the International Diabetes Federation) • 471 million cases • Seventh leading cause of death worldwide
T2DM • Type-2-Diabetes • Chronic Degenerative Disease • Insulin resistance • Inadequate insulin secretion of β-cells, spectrum reaches from predominant insulin resistance accompanied by a relative lack of insulin to a predominant defect of insulin secretion accompanied by insulin resistance • Treatment • Diet • Oral therapy • Insulin replacement therapy

Complications • Micro Vascular Complications • Retinopathy (retinal diseases) • Nephropathy (kidney disease, dialysis) • Macro Vascular Complications • Heart Attack • Stroke • Neuropathy (neurological diseases) • Diabetic Foot Ulcers (circulatory disorders of extremities)
Diabetes in Cambodia • WHO STEPS (2010): Population 25-64 years: • 2.9 % countrywide • 5.6% urban • 2.4% rural • exposure to NCD risk factors: 80% had at least one risk factor • Cambodia epidemiologic survey • Siem Riep province: 4.8 % • Kampong Cham province: 11.4 % • Source: WHO 2011
Impact of OAD Coverage (current = 12.5 %) Incremental Cost per Life Saved: 800 US$ (r=5%)
Impact of Insulin Coverage (basic = 12.5 %) Incremental Cost per Life Saved: 3392US$ (r=5%)
2.4.3 Example: Cervix Uteri Carcinoma • Agent: Humane PapillomaVirus (HPV) • Numerous subtypes, few of them carcinogenic • Incidence: 500,000 new cases and 270,000 fatalities worldwide p.a. • Transmission: primarily through sexual intercourse
Cervix Uteri Carcinoma • Prevention: • Vaccination (three vaccines prior to first sexual intercourse) • Screening • VIA: visual inspection with acetic acid • Pap smear • Genetic testing
Screening Source: WHO 2006
Cervix Uteri Carcinoma • Treatment: • pre-invasive: cryotherapy, “cold coagulation” • invasive: surgery, radiotherapy
